Smallbatch Beer Program Launches at Marker 48 Brewing

Marker 48 Brewing's Smallbatch Beer Program

Released each week
for the remainder of 2017, the beers could lead to valuable prizes for the
brewery’s customers

WEEKI
WACHEE, Florida (February 7, 2017) — Marker 48 Brewing has
introduced a new promotion that will offer participants a chance to win
magnificent prizes at the end of the year, as well as pours of unique one-off
beers throughout 2017.

Here’s how it works:

The Beers: Our Brewers and select guest brewers have
committed to brewing 48 different small-batch beers, one new beer every week,
for the remainder of the year.

These beers will allow our brewers and guest brewers to explore
creative and experimental brewing — everything from sours to barrel-aged beers,
and many styles in between.

The
Promotion: Marker 48 is offering a VERY LIMITED number of Smallbatch
Beer Books for sale. These books allow customers to receive one FREE
small-batch beer per week or half-off bomber bottles of the week’s small-batch
beers (when available).

The books cost $100 each and are on sale in the tasting
room, Weeki Wachee, Florida. In addition to the 48 free beers, book holders
will receive a stamp for each Smallbatch Beer drank.

The
Prizes: At the end of the year those individuals who have all 48
stamps will get an exclusive Marker 48 Smallbatch Beer shirt AND a special 20
oz. glass to be kept in the brewery to receive core beers in for the same price
as 16 oz. beers.

Depending on the number of stamps required, book holders will
also be qualified to win end of the year grand prizes.

The prizes are:

10-25
stamps are qualified to win:

·$100 Marker 48 gift certificate

·Free passport book for 2018 ($100 value)

·$25 BeckyJacks Food Shack gift certificate

·$25 Florida Cracker Kitchen gift certificate

·($250 value)

26-35
stamps are qualified to win all of the above, PLUS:

The chance to brew a small-batch beer with our brewers
in 2018

36-48
stamps are qualified to win all of the above, PLUS:

A one-night stay with one guest, hosted by
Marker 48, on a private island on the Homosassa River and a half-day fishing
inshore charter with a guide captain.

You must purchase a Smallbatch Beer Book to receive the
stamps and qualify for the prizes but you do not have to have a book to come in
and order each week’s Smallbatch Beers.

Most Smallbatch Beers will
be released on Wednesdays, though some with special treatments or other special
brewing techniques may be released another day. Each beer is expected to remain
on tap for a couple of weeks, though that cannot be guaranteed. Check the
Marker 48 Facebook page or Twitter accounts for announcements on the releases.

The first beer in the series was released on Sunday, Feb. 5.
“Peanut Butter and Jellyfish” is a treated blonde ale that come in at 5.5 percent
Alcohol by Volume and remains available as of this date.
